I officially applied for the first project management job ( small tech company ) .

I tailored the resume to them . J is right. I had a lot of cross over experience.
I already lead customers from start to middle to finish of their project currently.
I already analyze a website / make changes to it.
I could probably do it at a larger scale.

This is an "out there" idea that I'm just exploring and picking at.

I’m both happy and disappointed with myself right now.

They started the internship program again in cooperation with some trade programs, so we got this guy and, in the spirit of gender equality, back half got the woman student. Both 18 years old. And they’d both really seemed to go out of their way to avoid me. It didn’t take me long to conclude it had to be because of my coworkers, so I said to them, “Why are the interns avoiding me? What did you shitheads do?”. So some of my coworkers told them I’m bipolar and have random angry outbursts. My coworkers said they could set the record straight, but I told them I’d take care of it.

We started our day off doing shop cleanup, and since this is one of our overlap days, both of the interns were in the bay I was in. So I just suddenly yelled out, “MOTHERFUCKER GOD DAMMIT!” and launched the broom, then I walked to the other end of the bay breathing heavy and smacking my palms against my head, I threw a couple things, walked into the nest bay over, pounded my fist on the table in that bay while screaming, and then I just walked back, picked my broom back up, and went back to cleaning as if nothing was amiss.

I know I shouldn’t have done that, but it was just way too tempting.

Hell yeah, lol! This is why I love my dashcam. It picks up on so much fuckery on the road. People tend to think twice people doing stupid shit when they know what they do will be on videos. Evidence videos don't lie!

Yes, I remember when you recommended getting one for my car.
I needed to buy this one first, since my yard was just broken into 2 weeks ago.
Does your dash cam stay on when you're home and in for the night?
That's when I would need mine.

If you have a home camera then you wouldn't need a dash cam for when you're home at night.

However, you can hardwire your dashcam to record when it detects motion even with the engine off. You can place it where people can't see. There are so many small dash cams for that.

I live in a very rich town so people breaking into your car is rare. I personally don't hide I have a dash cam. It's not in your face but you can see it. People that want to do stupid shit have no ideas if you also have other cameras in your car so I love to have them wonder!

I want to go 90 minutes out of town to shoot with this photographer on Sunday.
The shoot is " glam " themed . My fave. :)

I can't wait for this little trip. I think I will add an extra day too ( to make it a 48 hour thing ) .
I feel like I have not done something for myself in forever.
That might not be accurate but it's just how I feel !
That 2nd day *may* be a club day IF I'm feeling it but it might not.
I would love a day to myself to just lounge around make up free as well.

I can't see my car from my apt, so I'm going to get a dash cam and hard wire it.
I live in a wealthy area too, but the thieves are now stealing catalytic converters, and gas ( puncturing holes in the gas tank).
The next door app is full of videos of thieves ( in their guard gated communities) stealing in broad daylight!
Mail, golf carts, flower arrangements, you name it.
I don't have comp and collision insurance on my car.
It's over $1000 to replace the converter.
Idk, maybe I should just buy the added insurance.

Actually I think I visited/applied at one but didn't get hired, worked at all late places after that. So weird, I lived there years but just didn't find my groove, did ok at one place for a while but it was weird, felt a bit scammy. Found a nice club I felt at home but it was dead when I started there and I didn't keep dancing much longer. It seems to have rebranded as a nightclub now

I plan on building a small pond in the backyard and raising tadpoles in it. I'm a typical Pisces and love water. I find it calming.

Well, we have new material written, so it looks like I’m doing another album with this band. We’ve done some rough mix recordings in home studios, and I’m using a lot more of my vocal range with these new tracks, and for an intro track, it’s me playing my violin over excerpts from the Jonestown suicide tape.

They’re trying to bring on a second guitarist, and I’m like, “You know, it just so happens I’ve been known to do a little strumming on the old gitfiddle myself”, and they know I’m perfectly capable of playing guitar and doing vocals simultaneously, but they don’t want to do that because during live shows I get off the stage and get into the crowd, and I couldn’t really do that if I were playing an instrument as well. Looks like they intend for me to stick around for a minute, anyhow.

How cute! Will you be posting pictures?
My Dad was a Pisces, and loved the water so much too.
He used to take me to all of the lakes in my area, and he'd stay in the water for hours.
I tried to, but I'm a land animal (Taurus), and water makes me very uneasy.
My Mom was also a Taurus and would stay home while we were there. Lol
I understand why.

Even vloggers on youtube are so obsessed with appearances and it feels fake. I miss anonymous Wordpress/Blogger personal blogs sharing the nitty-gritty details of their lives. I'm re-reading some old blogs now and it actually makes my heart hurt with nostalgia because I hate what the internet has become.

The shit I agree to sometimes.

There’s a local band who was set to record an album today and tomorrow. Their singer caught the Rona and they had to pit a substantial amount of money down to reserve this place. I know both of their guitarists, so I ended up getting a phone call with nine days notice. They use dual vocalists - their singer (whose place I’m taking) does harsh vocals while their bassist was tapped to do clean vocals. Problem is, their bassist is the best clean vocal singer they have, and he’s kinda shit. So they decided, “Hey, you can do both!”. So for each of these seven tracks I’m recording (because two are just instrumental), I have to do a second take, singing the clean vocal parts because they often overlap. All I’ve had to work with were lyric sheets and practice session recordings they’ve done - I have not rehearsed with this band at all. So let’s hope I don’t fuck it up too badly… I took today off to do this, and I really don’t want to have to come back tomorrow.

I adored this blogger back in the old days of blogs without pictures even ! She would post such interesting things. Like .... she would post what she wanted sex and relationship wise and I think she started dating / banging one of her followers ! They traveled to Costa Rica together for months at a time ( he had a cool hustle also ).
Such cool people ha ! I loved reading her stuff.

I absolutely loved the studio. I wanna take the guys there and see if they’ll record our next album there. It’s a split level house that was divided into separate living areas on each floor, and he basically made a studio out of the lower floor… sound dampening materials for acoustics, had cables run through the walls, and the downstairs kitchen was where he had all his mixing equipment and a window to look into the downstairs living room, which had been repurposed as the main studio, but he could have people recording in all downstairs rooms - even the bathroom if it came to that - if the living room wasn’t big enough. He told me how he’s done big band recordings down there, with different sections occupying different rooms and such. And it all went pretty smoothly. We recorded, there was a rough mix put together, and they’ll do the final mix tomorrow. The guy who I stood in for sent me this…

57112

And we were done in time for me to go catch a friend doing her own show… I met her when she first moved to NC from SLC back in February at a music shop, because I was getting my violin now restrung. She plays multiple instruments including violin, and we just hit it off. She’s trying to get me to record something with her because she knows one of the instruments I play is the accordion, and her band is a total hipster band… the show was at a bar/art gallery/DIY art studio, they all constantly switched instruments, you get the idea. And she made an announcement to the crowd because she knew I had just recorded an album to congratulate me and get some applause from the audience. She thinks it’s my first published release (it’s actually my tenth) and she doesn’t actually know what kind of music I make… I think she believes I’m one of “her people” as far as scenes we affiliate with goes, so she’s in for a bit of a surprise when she does find out. And she said, “And I hope we’ll get to see her on this stage soon”… yeah, I don’t have a place on the stage of that place. Pretty sure what I have isn’t what they want. And the dancer whose sister works at the equestrian center and the Irish woman were both there, and you could we were all holding in laughter at the suggestion of my playing there, because those two actually do know what I get into.

It was fun. I’m feeling kinda worn out right now, though.

Don't you hate it when you can't tell if you are being reasonable or a spoiled brat?

We travel to Portland in 8 days and then will add a day in another city at the end of it ( make the trip span 7 days ) to catch a concert. His company is paying for air and hotel for him ( obviously ). My ticket isn't booked. I asked yesterday how I should plan to do my ticket. He hinted that *maybe* I'm paying for some / half of it ? I'm not sure how I feel about that. I probably sound like such as ass even typing that out haha. I kind of thought he would just book mine . I think I expected the same pattern ( he always has before and we travel for his work every 3-4 months ).

If we make this concert happen I'm driving up North to place a car in the city we would need to land in to make the concert happen. This will make his travel SO seamless ( he will fly straight out of our town and then on the return will both land in the city up north where I'll already have placed the car ). It saves him 5 hours of driving to have the car put there by ME.

** UGH , never mind flights are FINALLY booked **

Procrastination got us. It should be $300-$340 for each flight and it was $600 per ticket.
Ugh I just hate over paying and feel like a dumb ass.

I wonder how JenniferNorth is doing. It's been a few months since she has last logged on here and I remember she was about to have surgery.

I'm getting the vibe that J is up to something ( in a good way ). :)

Another day where everyone else is out and about, so it’s just me and the Amish girl. So I spent the day with her. Yes, I kinda spoil her a bit on days like this, but she deserves it. She’s really been busting ass to pursue her goal, which is to get into airport operations.

^ You are such a great example to these women !

Seriously !

You’ve “ brought up “ other women as you’ve never risen up and it’s awesome to hear.

^^For real, I admire ChildofBoredom and her unconventional life very much!

(Sorry sis, I know you hate compliments!)
